Requirements

  • 10+ years of backend engineering experience, including extensive work on production-grade, distributed systems at scale.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • Ability to set multi-quarter technical roadmaps and align stakeholders (engineering, product, and executives) on strategy and tradeoffs.
  • Deep expertise in the container and Kubernetes ecosystem: you have strong, grounded opinions about cert-manager, kyverno, grafana, istio, and similar projects, and you can reason about tradeoffs at the ecosystem level,…
  • Mastery of container supply chain security concepts (provenance, attestation, SBOM, signing, SLSA) and experience driving posture decisions across an organization rather than implementing them on a single project.
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals: code review, testing, source control, CI/CD, and Go sufficient to shape infrastructure and harness design.
  • Track record of technical influence without authority across multiple teams or organizations, raising quality through design docs, standards, review, and mentorship.
  • Experience navigating upstream OSS communities as a decision-maker, representing a downstream organization's requirements and shaping upstream direction on security-relevant issues.
